    1. [WVHAMPSH-L] Cemeterying: Hampshire County 250 Update
    2. R. Wayne McGahuey
    3. Greetings one and all. I found another cemetery for the list. Today was the Short Family Cemetery. It was very hot here today so I only took photos of it, and thought that I could read the stones from the photos, but that wasn't a very good idea as many of them I could hardly read, even touching the physical stone. So the names you see in the list are very scant. I will make a trip back there in the next few days to write them down on paper and put them on the web. Something told me to go up the road on the way back from Slanesville, and I noticed the wooded area that just looked out of place. So I walked over to it and there was the cemetery.

    3. I changed the photo on the Powell / Largent Family Cemetery, so you can see just how many stones there actually are. The old photo was taken from the house in the background of the new photo.
